Hipp-E And Halo

Hipp-e and Halo are longtime friends that share a near-lifelong passion. Brian Vargas (Halo) found a job with seminal Chicago record label/distribution centre Hip House at the age of 9. At 12 he was DJing around his home town, despite being unable to attend parties as a paying customer. Eric Galaviz (Hipp-e) is from America's Golden West. He began DJing at 16 and producing just months afterwards. Keen to re-write house music to fit the vibe of America's left-coast, Hipp-e's meeting with Halo established a hybrid sound, pairing Chi-town jack with Pacific-deep beats. From their adopted base of San Diego they have worked under their own names (and the monikers H-Foundation and 6400 Crew) for Soma, Hooj Choons, Siesta, NRK, Contrast and Yoshitoshi.

"This is definitely one of our favourite projects to date. Fabric gave us the freedom to use a lot of material from our favourite labels and producers and they worked with us until we were totally satisfied with the result. This is a real house vibe." Hipp-e and Halo
